   ....remove my door pins?
   
   is it just a case of removing the door cards ripping a hole in the foam stuff and twisting the metal bars on the door pins till they come out?
   
   will i encounter any problems when unlocking or locking after the're removed coz i've lost the remote fob (getting a new one with new alarm in a week or so)
   so is it really as simple as the guide shows?

    Sorry to thread hijack - does anyone have a pic of a saxo with no door-pins, with these so-called "rubber grommits" in the holes?
    
    I'm thinking of getting rid of the door pins, but
    #1 i have manual locking (does this have any implications?)
    #2 i don't want to if the rubber grommits look naff.
    
    Lozi

    i have LEDs to blank the holes off
    
    you just wont be able to lock and unlock your car from the inside that should be the only problem
    
    you can get a central locking kit quite cheap now
    or buy an alarm which wll give you added protection

    Thanks hessle - not being able to lock my car from inside, that's a pain... i quite often have passengers so if i forgot to lock their side (quite likely) someone can get into my car even easier!
    
    ...I think i'll wait 'til i get a central locking kit.
    
    Thanks for the help though guys
